in india oh she's available in the movie going to join people to. wake up to the grand imperial. torch was pushed coromandel you can away with a chill closure security to go and. read the sun the colonel was such a treat. to torpedo aspect a democrat led senate kills republican debt ceiling plan shortly after it was barely passed out of house as u.s. default deadline looms. ultra conservative islamist overwhelm egypt's tahrir square demanding surreal glow in the wake of revolution spreading in the region israelis take to the streets to protest for social justice. as a number of journalists in the u.s. increases the public relations sector grows rapidly some saying the ultimate victim of the trend will be democracy.

there and welcome to r.t. twenty four hour news from around the world cara johnston the democrat controlled u.s. senate has shot down a republican led debt ceiling plan just hours after it was passed in the house of representatives the plan put forward by house speaker john boehner would have raised the country's debt ceiling by nine hundred billion dollars loan with similar amounts in spending cuts and as the clock ticks down to august second when the debt limit is reached less time to avert an unprecedented default crisis which right prompted us to lose its top notch credit rating senate democrat leader harry reid our hopes he's proposing a compromise which could keep the government afloat but according to an economist next fraud well this plan is more likely to get a green light. less than two business days away from the worst self-imposed crisis

of america's standing in the world and america's credit rating and at least a century it's a fairly emergency situation where deep into the eleventh bordering on the twelfth hour reduction plan that president obama has endorsed at least rhetorically that comes out of harry reid and the democratic majority in the u.s. senate does make massive cuts in spending more than two point five trillion dollars over ten years and more than two hundred fifty billion dollars a year there's no increase in revenue at all which was one of the early if i think somebody's unwise demands of the republicans in these negotiations and therefore is possible is actually does more to reduce the deficit than the debt in the united states over the next ten years than the rival republican house plan the cut cap and balance plan and so it's possible that that could be pushed through none of these plans make real efforts to reduce the long term problem of insufficient revenue which they do reduce spending in ways that will be painful and for many communities

in the united states transformative but it's worthy of note and somehow hasn't much been mentioned that not a single plan out there reduces the national debt they just change the speed by which it grows well the politicians battle it out of it who would be to blame if the american economy hits a brick wall so cement a from the u.s. space trends journal says the political elite will recognize simple solutions to america's deficit. that country is going bankrupt just look at the numbers the numbers don't lie the politicians but let's look at the bigger picture first of all do you value in the dollar and we've been saying it all along gold in the last month is again one hundred fifteen dollars an ounce what they're not talking about in all these deficit reduction hey how about in military budget how about slashing foreign aid fifty seven billion dollars a year how about but he's like general electric it may be billion

dollars you're paying no taxes piers went be a room out there to start reigning this thing in and turning it around but we do not have a representative form of government we have a government that represents only the very powerful and the very rich and that's all this is about reading them keeping their perks but economic illiteracy is to america deeper into crisis so says monks kinds of financial experts and still the kaiser report. to the world is adjusting the dollar will lose its status as a world reserve currency u.s. debt will lose that simple a rating and it's a completely different configuration and washington is not the biggest player in this if they were being managed by somebody who knew something about economics not barack obama financially illiterate they would allow the dollar to collapse against other currencies let the economy go through two or three years of a gut wrenching depression may come out of it and rebuild but keep their sovereign stance act otherwise americal on it like greece losing their sovereignty america

will end up like other countries in the euro zone like ireland that's lost its sovereignty to the i.m.f. and these other backing institutions i think most americans would prefer to be sovereign and free than to be a battle state of international bankers. the august second deadline for raising the debt ceiling in the u.s. is rapidly approaching and there's still no solution on the horizon but the home oftenest. to the streets of new york to find out whether americans feel a financial collapse is around the corner. with a looming debt crisis the u.s. is watching the clock tick down to an economic armageddon what does that even mean this week let's talk about that big dates over and over again and just. so it's idle prat. i believe so do you expect more from the people you like.

neither party is going to let this actually happen where they would let it expire and then the united states we go into default i don't think that's going to happen i think that's a bluff but i think what actually is at hand is for real in there they're using it as leverage to push their respective issues but i think americans if i'm speaking for myself as an american are sick of it or they don't represent the reports that they think that they were representing but i don't i think if they keep on saying the american people want this market they want just so i don't think they're asking anybody really what they really want what you want but i would compromise right now the drama right now is largely contrived there is a debt crisis but we'll make it through and you know we'll pay the bills and things will be fine so all this drama i think is just making people crazy why are they doing that now i mean we raise the debt ceiling every year why is this drama unfolding right now well it's largely political because the upcoming election you know it's a good thing it's finally happening i think that people are speaking up and and

hopefully will get our way but sometimes it takes a while to bad things really are i mean nobody has given any ground i've seen a large before for many many years and this is absolutely truly amazing and makes me wonder how they ever get anything done in israel or in italy or any place where they have multi parties to portage to an airport. and we can't get anything done it's utterly embarrassing initial be ashamed of themselves no matter what happens with the u.s. debt crisis the bottom line is we're bound to see a lot more pass train from all the politicians involved. in. the program lifting expectations. the. first steps to free the country from taking actions in the interest.

also more than a year has passed since the government gave children a right to free education has it helped a great social divide. tens of thousands of protesters gathered in egypt's tahrir square for one of the biggest rally since president was overthrown months ago a lot just group in attendance for ultra conservative muslims calling for the introduction of sharia law journalist and blogger austin micah is incorrect says the arab spring has produced a strong and divisive islamist movement dave was assigned a liberal islam is forces really come together to continue their push for basic democratic rights down in the square was done before i came here. is a huge number of. muslim brotherhood members.

and they many chants of. islamic identity this islamic nature of egypt which has caused some friction with the. secular forces who are normally it is if you look forces dominate entire bill once you run the running a sit in there for a month since the clashes that happened at the end of june but today because they are not by the islamists but a similar show rest is taking place in neighboring israel thousands of young protestors tent camps across the country said he's calling for social justice and points in discontent at government policies a mass rallies planned for saturday state. predicts israel is edging closer to revolution. two thirds of the poor in israel are working poor people who are working every day people who have a great jobs and still are not able to go above the poverty level so that's the reason that people are coming out of the street if you look at how the protests

started it's almost identical to how it started in egypt in internees and other places started through facebook somebody who made a post on facebook through social media that's how people organize or was organized completely in the beginning by the young people in these old student people who feel that they have no future people who feel who can't afford living here and i was realizing that this is not the way to go forward and he's right to figure out ways to deal with it because the government could definitely fall its role and these are ground and i think he is in danger especially that the process while israel has been under a building in tel aviv in on all these major cities in israel is all have been overbuilding in the west bank focus of the israeli government at the moment is more sustaining the occupation more sustaining the settlement rather than curing for the majority of the population what actually opposed to the lands and opposed accusation and israel proper so that the problem here though is the still many

israelis have not been able to make the connection and the more and the sooner israelis need it and if you realize that circulation perfect their daily life affects the pennies that the government spending the money the government spending in the west bank verses in israel i think you will see a real revolution in israel. more than a yes passed since the indian the government announced the president writes education act the law was aimed at stamping out of literacy nothing. like the concepts was to provide compulsory and free education for all children aged six to fourteen however as artie's discovered form is facing tough times and. it's gone in india's capital city of new delhi and eight year old cushy just getting ready for school while there are nearly two hundred million elementary school children like coaching in india only half that number ever complete the eighth grade most end up leaving school to help their parents with domestic work or

to get a job to bring in some extra money maybe i haven't studied much that's why i want to educate my children after growing pressure to address the educational disparities in india the government passed in apps making it mandatory for all children between the ages of six and fourteen to get a free education it even requires a leap private schools with tuitions nearing five hundred dollars per month to grant a quarter of their states to students from disadvantaged backgrounds like questioning . education. and long. string. today there are just as many schools where students have to pay a choice unlike this one as there are free schools that are funded by the government according to be active something to parents to decide where they send their kids to school that means it's free like what you can attend an elite private school if you enter the witness the lottery and gets into the twenty five percent

quota it also means that if government workers are able to identify and successfully enroll this is cool that are attending schools like the ones pushing its hands now could get overcrowded but the idea of free schooling in india has its opponents with concerns even raised by proponents of the act free schools have no art assaulted in quality and i think poor parents are much smarter than that. and they want to be and quality is something that the principal of cushy school knows has a different definition depending on the school while the teachers want to see their students succeed they believe that integrating indian children from a lower class. into a private school would not be practical. basically it's only to have a very high standard only juden whose parents are educated can study in schools like these schools want to maintain their high standards and reputation how can poor people send their children to schools like these because the parents are all educators even at home there is no one to choose or supervise their studies or

homework it's a position supported by the well off members of indian society the schools are not meant for them. it's meant for the people who are close people have to go over there so they get him elected in the sense that he comes from a background his parents are probably labelled as a whatever they're. putting him in that sort of thing in the i mean so he would have trouble getting assimilated in spite of the mixed reception the integration model received for children like cushy education is simply about accomplishing her dreams i want to study to the twelfth grade ten become a teacher. but it's a dream that may just fall through the gap of india's socio economic divide. preassure either our team new delhi india. and that on our web page r.t. dot com you can always get more news stories and pictures as a quick look at what's available few right now on life love only to find out more

clones of professional journalists are being picked up on the p.r. machine not seen christine. in finding out why losing journalists might be a threat to democracy is the in. the first. of this little consultancy the newspaper is like the seattle post intelligencer the rocky mountain news and hundreds more have now become relics from the past week and slash budgets have stops the presses at newsrooms nationwide. and mass layoffs throughout media have meant far fewer journalists to investigate policy and procedure we're losing a sense of accountability in government in business in our. life lives if we lose journalists who are now asking questions about what's going on the numbers particularly dramatic with newspapers where revenue has been cut nearly in

half while the journalism industry is shrinking a public relations industry is expanding at one time a one to one ratio between p.r. employees and journalists today that ratio is four to one with p.r. revenues jumping from three point five billion to eight point seven billion dollars journalists are simply overwhelmed by folks who are trying to spin them or trying to create their own story you have the public relations folks inductors if you will driving the cycle john nichols along with robert mix has new wrote a book about it the death and life of american journalism in a sense we are becoming one of the most propagandized countries in the world short staffed news stations often use company video news releases or vienne ours like this one if your taxable appearances are the first to report the truth oh i p. are described as news the new pretty good as gold mimics press releases also often

a getting says american involvement in the region is a mistake that has dragged on for decades. as u.s. ambassador ryan crocker said in his speech in kabul frankly real we have the wrong way in the early eighty's and we all know a good history of those decisions the civil war the rise of the telegram sanctuary of al qaeda and nine eleven actually this statement just a ghost of the same sentiments that previously x. prayers and rightly u.s. commander in afghanistan general petraeus and u.s. secretary of defense robert gates regarding the precipitous u.s. political and military withdrawal that after the soviet forces withdraw from afghanistan the real wrong way for the united states was eat and friends in pakistan and afghanistan as a proxy anti soviet jihad in the late seventy's and this is the main political

their views with the new turn stick in november last year russia up to a new low for small aircraft pilots it sounds very promising abolishing much of the preflight paperwork letting the pilots use new airfields and generally adopting international flight rules it's a dream for any plane owner in russia however not all of the old restrictions were lifted back in the climes you actually had to have all the paperwork with you during the wides now the rules have changed but there are still third and sometimes even absurd requirements for the pilot from all points for instance even if the pilot and the mechanic are the same no one has the main thing. to come in they phone from one to another the new regulations allow the so called notification mode instead of asking for permission for takeoff from the authorities in theory the pilots can now use the internet for air traffic control of their plans but in reality it rarely works. as you can see there are many forbid in all restricted

zones around mosco so it's impossible for us to use notification modes anywhere within a two hundred kilometer radius of the capital even with the new law justice of government organisations issue all sorts of contradictory instructions for pilots it's a major disincentive for pilots to make the effort to take to the skies and that means that russia is missing out of the potential pot of gold will some countries like the u.s. get julianne's of dollars from small aircraft fees and taxes russia doesn't get a cent marker if the sort of current regulations are in chaos or i didn't miss we're losing around five hundred billion rubles annually. some of the above are many pilots leafleting that this year's scoop on air show are up to mystic about krissy. the new law was just the first time any step of the world is ahead of us but eventually we will learn how to fly again russia's small aviation enthusiasts
